The 304 and 204 were 3 hole but 14" and a different (smaller)
bolt circle
The 2 CV would probably be a 3" wide rim.... useless
Sounds like Joe Wagner has what you need
I forgot about the tube/tubeless thing
You cannot trust tubeless tires on tube wheels
You could get a wheel shop to take 404 centers and weld them into
a rim rim that had its center cut out.
I had a shop make me some 6" wide Beetle rims out of VW centers and Caddy
rims
Or you could buy some new mags that haven't been drilled for
bolts
The later might be the best way to go
Or you could just put tubes into the tires you get whether or not they are
tube or tubeless
